Keeping Good Staff when Money is Tight & Managing conflict in the workplace
January 11, 2018
How do you keep them down on the farm?
Although everyone likes to be paid, money is not the only, or even most important, motivator for staff retention and performance. This workshop will cover research on rewards and incentives in the workplace to learn tools to attract and retain farm staff and reduce staff turn-over.
Workplace conflict, however, can be very demotivating for everyone. We will discuss and role-play managing conflict on the farm, terminating employees and managing employee departures.
Your employees are your most valuable resource. Wages, salaries, and contract labor expenses represent more than 40 percent of the cost of production in labor intensive crops like fruits, vegetables, and nursery products. Can you afford to not improve your skills in managing employees effectively?
This is the third of four workshops on Human Resource Management on the Farm. Sign up for the full series of workshops in Ballston Spa, NY at a discounted price.
